it's your old pal spork back from the void!! this blog is still dead probably. i just wanted to ramble lol

sooo i think about classpect a lot still because Special Interest and here's a summary of my general thoughts on it.

things a classpect can be:

a role you are Destined to play in the game

a role you are Destined to play In General

a role you are Forced to play

a role that is simultaneously determined For you and By you, due to the nature of paradox space, branching timelines, and the restrictions of a linear perception of time

a completely arbitrary title based on ultimately random factors

a Description of a narrative arc

an Assignment of a narrative arc

a description of your cool powers

the result of a literal/metaphorical/metaphysical personality quiz

a title a real life person gives themselves for funsies ;)

all of the above

none of the above

i feel like a lot of people either 1) generally agree with the popular fandom consensus and don't look beyond that or 2) overcompensate by trying to have The True And Correct Take. however, there is a crucial thing being overlooked with both of those viewpoints which is that you can do whatever you want! forever!! :3

i (mainly) use classpect-as-narrative-arc. this is neither Correct nor Incorrect! the same is true of literally any other theory, by nature of it being a Theory. that is ok! i think everyone should generally do what they find most fun/most interesting/most helpful for their story/creation.

i do also think that it's worth keeping an open mind and taking the time to consider different viewponts, but that doesn't mean your own has to change. it just means you should look out for new ideas so that you don't miss any that you think are cool! sometimes there's ideas that you could totally have fun with and incorporate into your system if you just considered it for a second, and realized that it is kind of an awesome concept.

but the most important thing will always be HAVING FUN, like in a general sense ^-^ for example, i use classpect-as-arc in most of my homestuck-adjacent stories, but i have some other ones where i go for classpect-as-forced-role instead because of the themes i want to explore there. and there are a couple of settings i've created where classpects are nothing but powersets, and are irrelevant to the plot outside of that. i think this kind of mixing and matching is a good approach that keeps you from getting locked into one way of thinking! plus it means you get to play around a lot more.

if your goal is only to analyze the canon text, you might not be so interested in the less canon-compliant takes. that's ok too! but until we get actual confirmation on Any of these theories (which might never happen -n-) it's going to be really up in the air, which i'm... honestly kind of glad for at this point? part of me isn't entirely convinced that hussie even had a single definitive answer in mind, which wouldn't be that surprising really, though one may have been decided on after the fact. or maybe there's some Super Secret Truth that existed all along and just hasn't been revealed to us!

either way, use the concept of classpects however you want, because no one can stop you!!!! >:3 you are the artist, it is you! write and draw what inspires you! and support other people who do the same!! maybe even COLLABORATE so you can make BIGGER COOLER THINGS >:D

#classpect #hiii every day i think about classpects #it is a curse i have to bear #i mostly use my usual system but then every once in a while i fuck around and change something about it #just because i can #you can still send me asks about classpect if you want. not analysis requests bc i don't do those anymore #but if you just wanna tell me about your cool ideas or chat about it hmu!!!

It's now been two years since I began drawing BSD fanart, and I recently went back and discovered that the very first sketch I ever did was of Chuuya! So I thought it would be fun to go through and line up a bunch of my attempts at drawing him — progress over time, and all that :0

#I still have a lot to learn in terms of — well everything honestly #Still!! Progress!#...parts of this could also be seen as 'senhart tries to learn how to draw hats for two years straight' aksfjksjfksd #my art #bsd chuuya #that first Chuuya I sketched is kind of cursed ngl #what was I doing with the eyebrows?? but for the sake of completion I'm keeping it there #anyway! all that aside I really appreciate all of you guys for bearing with me as I learn new stuff and figure out what my art style is #y'all are awesome!

Been really pondering Fantoccio and the cursed citizens lately… like, if you’re stuck in a city for 15 years with some of your only company being these cursed globby versions of the people that used to surround you normally, you’d start to Notice Things that remind you of who they used to be, right?

#I HAVE SO SO MANY THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS GUY HE MAKES ME SOOO SAD. FANTOCCIO….#i really do think about his time in the city a lot. like a whooole lot.#like ofc these are weird amorphous blobs but yknow. there may still be some semblance of who they used to be within them #they have old habits or hang around in places they used to live idk idk.#they still have some of that old humanity they used to hold i guess… even in their cursed forms…#a little spark of hope that maybe everything will go back to normal someday #i dunno. and maybe eventually they even start to LOOK normal. all in ur head #fanto’s supposed to be younger here btw!! id personally put him at around 12-14 maybe?#also the bear baker’s name is Miss Cardamom!! unfortunately she is doomed by the narrative…. so sad… ú_ù #the bg characters were VERY VERY FUN to design!!! hehehe #billie bust up #bbu fantoccio #bbu the fella #robin’s art #2024 art #didnt mean to go as hard on the art as i did… twas supposed to just be a simple sketch comic HAHA #comicfollies

I never look up scenes so I didn’t know his full reaction to Arabella dying, nearly choked hearing this come out of his mouth, my gods

Playing my asshole sun elf and he ignored the grove nearly entirely - only went in to interrogate Zorru for Lae’zel for his cure (who is now dead from Shadowheart), but wiped out the goblin camp for fun on the way and found Halsin who is now his best lead to a cure

#love me a pissed off bear but this one was just kinda more sad than anything #also that’s totally not his entire camp with him #nope not missing anybody at all #it’s becoming an interesting playthrough already #still debating if this man would figure out the shadow curse stuff #he’d lift it if given the option but I have to figure out if he’d even care to speak to art #anyway #halsin #bg3 #my screenshots

I hate dating apps I need to meet the love of my life more organically*

*in hand-to-hand combat before the great walls of the City of Troy

#Icariasia daughter of Priam was seized by Artemis who wields the Golden Arrows and the goddess spoke to her:#fast-footed daughter of kings you have run for many a year and bested many great and renowned Trojan men #in all the arts and sports contrived by Athena the daughter of Zeus who bears the golden aegis #but the gods warn you now that you shall soon face upon this blood-drenched field a daughter of the greatest of the Achean kings #who will match you in all of the arts and sports played at funeral games in honor of the gods for practice of war #and though you now curse the name of the golden-haired enraged Achilles for the death of your many brothers upon this field #you soon shall deny my twin Apollo’s libation and make libations instead to silver-eyed Athena goddess of strategy and war #because her daughter of like mind to strategy and arts shall best you in combat and yet shall spare you #and carry you back to the hollow ships beside the sea #and for that favor and for the spangled mind of a child of Athena daughter of Zeus who widens the heavens with thunder #you shall betray your father and return as willful captive to the strange isles where Helen with the lovely woven braids was born #Iliad #homer #sorry uh I think I was briefly possessed by my past life self

So what actually goes on in jojolion? What's that one about?

Ohhh brudder jojolion is probably my personal favirote jojo part

I love it so much, its unfortunately got some rough spots especially at the start with the character daiya. But as for the story at whole its really great

Its about a man who wakes up with no memories of you he is, where he came from, or why he was buried in the dirt. It's about the journey of this man as he discorves who he was to those around him before he lost his memories. It's about a man deciding who he wants to be in an ocean of perspectives of his character from others.

It's about family and the unbreakable bond with your mother no matter where you go and what happens. Even if that means doing things that no one else will understand or even hate you for doing.

#but as a real awnser #its about a man and a woman waking up in the garden of eden with the forbidden fruit #sorry dhsjsk #but its about gappy and his adventure to learn who he is after waking up with no memories #and finding reasons to fight beyond himself along the way #and about the family that adopts him and the curse their family name bears and the lengths some of them will go to in a chance to avoid fat #oh ans if your asking where my rock human wham fits in #they introduce a species thats identical to humans but can turn into rocks and stuff #it takes place in 2011 with josuke and yasuho #but theres a flashback af the end with joseph joestar and him moving to america to help lucy while she works at the speedwagon foundation #and mentions him meeting suzi q who works there ans them having their daughters #and i just wanted to expand wham into that for fun lol #the rock humans are like this universes take on the pillar men sorta kinda

happy fifth year anniversary! i remain in hell

#voltron #how coincidental it is that my biannual voltron hyperfixation happened to fall on the fifth anniversary of it ending #i feel so incredibly old #life goes on but i will forever remain here #that is my curse to bear in this world #the fact that i remembered this only two days prior means one of two things #one: it’s a coincidence #and two: i have a sixth sense for these things #which is mildly disturbing #but also very hilarious #like imagine #me waking up in a cold sweat forty five years from now: oh god….. it’s the 50th anniversary

#persona 3 #p3 #mitsuru kirijo #p3 aigis #i have THOUGHTS and FEELINGS about the potential of mitsuai as a dynamic #emotions even #just. listen. they are the only two who can never stop fightjng shadows. who will never have peace and never leave the other world behind #everyone else has a choice. maybe akihiko doesnt feel like he does maybe he feels like he has to get stronger and keep figjting #so that no one he knows will ever get hurt again. but its a DECISION on his part to stay fighting shadows. and everyone else has left their #fighting days behind. but aegis and mitsuru??#aegis is a shadow suppression unit. she was created to fight shadows and even if she has a life and feelings and friends she will never #NOT be a robot made to fight and kill shadows. she can never stop. it is a part of her forever.#and mitsuru theoretically has a choice but. does she really? does she really? the moment she awoke to her persona she was cursed #now as the last kirijou alive she has a burden no one else could possibly bear. no one can take responsibility for her grandfathers sins.#nor for her fathers. nor for every person who worked at kirijou ergonomics no matter their innocence. no one but her.#she cant stop fighting shadows until the kirijou name is clear of guilt. and that will never happen until shadows stop existing #everyone else who survived sees have the option to put their weapons down. whether they choose it is on them but they CAN choose #mitsuru and aegis will never be so lucky #just. G-D! G-D! gnaws my arm off

so funny that the titles and descriptions for vectors recipes keep mentioning that he doesn't have money or needs to buy groceries or that you can make this dish on a tight budget or something . vector the crocodile only victim of capitalism in the sonic universe

#helpppp right after the one i just read there was one by espio that was saying vector forgot to pay the power bill and the stove wont work #espio and charmy are victims of capitalism too but i think its only because they live with vector #so they also have to bear the curse by extension #if they moved out they would be free and never have to worry about money again #but they love their friend/coworker/dad/older brother/secret fifth thing too much to do that

Halsin essentially knowing Astarion is a vampire right off the bat is theoretically hilarious to me, because he evidently has a very elevated sense of smell judging by a few things he says, so you just know he took one whiff of Astarion and was like: that is a corpse drenched in perfume

#BG3 Musing #Halsin Posting #halstarion #i mean obviously ur a vampire - wait how did you know??? - you look dead #and i have eyes little star #halsin just flabbergasted at shadowheart saying astarion's scent is pretty non-existent #the curse of being a bear #(jk jk he gets used to it)#judging by how he's like oh do you drizzle honey on necks before indulging 😏 like he knows right away #you smell like a dead body which means either you *are* one or you've recently consorted with one
